W ellis puDilShed the following notice to
buyers of Duluth wheat in circular OF
to-day: ITO preserve the integrity of
of Duluth regular wheat. and to restore
confidence in state certificates of in
spection for Duluth regular wheat, the
following amendment to the general

the 18th day of November, 1857: (Section
of rule 5)-It shall (hereafter) be the

tary.' Also providing that the secretary
shall keep a record showing the date
and number of certificate, to whom

TIE COAI, TRADE.
The last steamer to bring coal to the
Northwestern Fuel company has come
and gone, and the total shipments Of
the season to that company have been
footed up. They are $4,000 tons, a
great increase over any previous year
and an immense total. The total coal
receipts of all the companies doing bust
ness this side of the bay amounted this
year to $4,000 tons, as against q total OF
735, 600 for all companies at the head of
the lake. The receipts for all the coal
companies doing business both at Du-
luth and Superior have been almost
1000, coo tons for 1887. The totals are as
follows:
Northwestern Fuel company. $4,000
Ohio Coal company .21O, 900
W. c. Sargent. Observation-Disclosures. 10000
Other dealers NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 10000
Lehigh Coal company (Surerior). POO, 900
St Paul q Pacific Coal company
(Supcrior) ......... ........... ....145,OOo
Totai... OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. 969, ooO
Last year the total receipts of all these
companies was, as stated above, 135, 900
tons. This increase, which makes Du-
luth the leading coal receiving point in
the West excepting Chicago and Mil
waukee, is truly gratifying one, but
this qualification is modified by the fact
that at least one-third more would have
been unloaded at the Duluth docks had
there been facilities for handling. Even
now the local companies are positive
of scarcity of coal before the close of
the season, and none of them have re-
ceived as much coal as they had eX-
pected. More companies and larger
docks are needed, and will come.

West Superior is to have daily pa
per with Editor Street as the grinding

view it will doubtless be grand sue
cess, for Street is most pronounced
boomer.
